Ahabi abvundza: “Kubulukira mwa ani?” Mprofeta atawira: “Baba wathu alonga tenepa: Kubulukira mwa aphale a atsogoleri a madera.” Ahabi abvundza: “Mbani anadzatoma nkhondo?” Mprofeta atawira: “Ndimwe.”

Na tenepo Ahabi acemeresa aphale a atsogoleri a madera, iwo akhali 232. Buluka penepo acemeresa anango onsene, Aizarayeli onsene, onsene pabodzi akhali 7.000. Abuluka maseze pakati pa ntsiku, mu ndzidzi ukhamwa Beni-Hadhadhi pabodzi na amambo makumatatu na awiri akhali pabodzi na iye, mbakaledzera m'misasa yawo. Aphale a atsogoleri a madera abuluka pakutoma. Beni-Hadhadhi akhadatuma anyakuzonda, iwo ampanga: “Amuna anabuluka mu Samariya.”

Iye alonga: “Angabuluka thangwi ya ntendere, aphateni mbakali maso; angabuluka thangwi ya nkhondo, aphateni mbakali maso.”

Aphale a atsogoleri a madera abuluka mu nzinda, anyankhondo akhaatowera nduli. Munthu m'bodzi na m'bodzi apha nyamalwa wace. Aaramu athawa, Aizarayeli mbaathamangisa, mbwenye Beni-Hadhadhi mambo wa Aramu athawa pa kavalo pabodzi na anyankhondo anango a pa makavalo. Mambo wa Izarayeli aenda kutsogolo mbakunda makavalo na ngolo zankhondo, mbapha Aaramu azinji kakamwe. Buluka penepo mprofeta abwera kuna mambo wa Izarayeli: “Limbisani mbuto yanu, nyerezerani mwadidi pinafunika imwe kucita, thangwi mu caka cinafuna kudza, mu ndzidzi wa masika, mambo wa Aramu anadzakumenyanani pontho.”

Mu ndzidzi unowu akulu a mambo wa Aramu ampanga: “Milungu yawo ndi milungu ya pa mapiri; ndi thangwi yace yatikunda ife. Menyanani nawo pa mbuto yakwana, penepo ife tinadzaakunda mwandimomwene. Citani tenepa: Bulusani amambo onsene pa mautsogoleri awo, mbamuaikha atsogoleri anango m'mbuto mwawo. Gumanyani anyankhondo ninga ale adaluza imwe, kavalo m'mbuto mwa kavalo, ngolo m'mbuto mwa ngolo, mbamumenyana na Izarayeli pa mbuto yakwana. Penepo tinakhala amphambvu kakamwe.” Iye aabvera mbacita tenepo.

Caka cidatowera, Beni-Hadhadhi agumanya Aaramu mbaenda ku Afeki toera kumenyana na Izarayeli. Ana a Izarayeli pidagumanywa iwo mbapaswa pinthu pyakufunika, abuluka toera kuagumana.

Munthu wa Mulungu abwera kuna mambo wa Izarayeli mbalonga: “Baba wathu alonga tenepa: Thangwi Aaramu asanyerezera kuti Mbuya ndi mulungu wa pa mapiri, tayu wa m'migwa, Ine ndinapereka anyankhondo azinji awa onsene m'manja mwanu, penepo imwe munadziwa kuti Ine ndine Baba wanu.”

Mu ntsiku zinomwe akhadapanga misasa iwo mbaonana; pa ntsiku yacinomwe nkhondo yatoma. Mu ntsiku ibodzi ana a Izarayeli apha anyankhondo a miyendo a Aaramu 100.000.

Atumiki ace alonga: “Ife tabva kuti amambo a nyumba ya umambo ya Izarayeli ndi anyantsisi. Tiyeni tiende kuna mambo wa Izarayeli na nguwo za maliro m'macuno mwathu na mikambala pa misolo yathu; panango anakupulumusani imwe.”

Amuna anewa apiona ninga cidzindikiro cadidi, mbaphata mafala ace mwakucimbiza. Iwo alonga: “Inde, m'bale wanu Beni-Hadhadhi!” Mambo alonga: “Ndokoni, mun'bwerese.” Na tenepo Beni-Hadhadhi abuluka, Ahabi ampakisa mu ngolo yace.

Beni-Hadhadhi alonga: “Ndinabwezera mizinda idakwata baba wanga kuna baba wanu, pontho imwe munakwanisa kumanga mbuto zanu za msika mu Dhamasko, ninga mudacita baba wanga mu Samariya.” Ahabi alonga: “Na pyenepi, ndinakusudzulani.” Na tenepo acita cibverano na iye, mbansiya mbaenda.
